Namiki Aya Maki-e Fountain Pen - Tokiwa Green

The Namiki Aya fountain pen collection is the newest maki-e model from Namiki, with designs lacquered by the highly reveredKokkokai group. The barrel artwork was designed using traditional maki-e urushi lacquer work and finished with a sprinkling of gold and silver dust using the togidashi polishing technique. Each pen features different colored urushi lacquer to create the rich hues of nature.

Tokiwa (Evergreen): a Japanese word for 'something that will never change.' This design expresses the evergreen trees on a mountain that flourish without their leaves losing color, even in winter. Dried green lacquer powders are applied with varying intensities to symbolize the landscapes of mountains using gradient coloring. Crushed abalone shells and gold-flat-powders are used in the background to evoke a starry night.

The Namiki Aya Collection has a classical vest-type body style and is enhanced with an oversized No. 30 two-tone 18k gold nib featuring the iconic silhouette of Mount Fuji, available in Fine Medium, Medium, or Broad nib sizes. The Aya fountain pen collection offers effortless, smooth writing and is designed to delight the fountain pen collector.

This classical fountain pen is refillable for continued use with a Pilot ink cartridge or Pilot’s CON-70 converter, both of which are included, and arrives packaged in a beautiful Namiki wooden giftbox.
